LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Lashing out

Lashing out

Re: "Shameless" (letters, March 12).

I am once again appalled at the comments some make against others when they do not agree. I am referring to the letter against NRA members. How dare you call me and my fellow NRA members terrorists! I am a law-abiding citizen who also owns two businesses. This is typical behavior from those who are for gun control and have no true facts to back up their case. They just lash out at those who do not agree with them.

The president's family may be at more risk than the average family, and I would never deny them protection, but their lives are no more dear than any other citizen of this great country. Young woman are raped on campuses and in dark allies, and people are mugged and murdered all across this country. You would deny them the right to protect themselves with a gun if they so wish.

These lunatics killing our children are almost always on some doctor-prescribed, mind-altering drug, (the side effects of which are violent and suicidal behavior) but no one is looking into that.

In the end it always takes a firearm to stop these legal, drug-crazed killers. But, the problem is, when seconds matter, help is many minutes away. A trained person in the building with a firearm would have saved many lives.
